My guess is that this is a CORS related issue, verify this by checking your js console. To rectify this, you can run a simple HTTP server and serve the html file from there.

on Mac OS you run the following in terminal from your working directory

http-server -p 4090 .

In your web browser, navigate to http://localhost:4090

This will stop you from receiving such an erroe
